Though this has never happened in the history of ICC cricket world cup so far. However if there is a tie or match being washed out due to unplayable weather or pitch conditions, then the world cup trophy will be share among the finalists. This means that for the first time in the history of cricket we can get a chance to see 2 winners of world cup. Similar thing was observed in the past when India and Sri Lanka share the Asia Cup trophy as match didn't finished due to rain.

Though final match is gonna tied, it doesn't means same applies for the knock out matches in the world cup that starts on Feb 14th next year. If any of the match in the knock out stage like quarter finals or semi finals ends up in a draw then the team with higher standing in the points table will be awarded the right to proceed to the next round.I hope you remember the famous Australia Vs South Africa match in 1999 world cup semi finals. However don't be afraid the the knock out matches might become dull or boring in case or poor weather conditions. There are reserve days for know out stage matches and chances are there that viewers will get to see full exciting ODI matches.

India are the defending world cup champions but given the team form, fitness and experience level of player in foreign pitches I feel that it'd be a hell of a task for the defending champions. Indian team don't have the coach and senior players to defend the title. Sachin, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Harbhajan, Zaheer, Nehra are not in the squad. Thus a lot es expected from the youngsters. Will they be able to cope with the pressure? We will get to know from the single opening match itself when India will play against Pakistan. This might be the first time that Pakistan will defeat India in a world cup match or they might have to keep waiting.

Now let discuss the finalist of the previous world cup. Yes the Sri Lankan cricket team, it seem that the Sri Lanka cricket team might be the one with most experienced player both in balling and batting. The team has the reputation of making it to the finals in both sub-continent and abroad conditions. This is the team to have played most number of world cup finals and remember they are the winner of ICC T20 world cup as well. This time Sri Lanka might target making it doubles of T20 and ODI world cup.

The team who have won most number of world cup is the co-host of the tournament. Yes I'm talking about Australian cricket team, but this team recently have a decline in form with many cricketers retiring from ODIs. No matter the Aussie team is not in good touch these days still the team will have the advantage of home conditions and its always a hard task to beat Australia in home conditions.

Other teams to watch this world cup are Pakistan, South Africa and co-hosts New Zealand. The 100 days countdown will sound more interesting when you watch the video below:
